All the winners from the shots Awards EMEA 2023

Last night [November 22] was the shots Awards EMEA ceremony for 2023, at which the winning work, people and companies from across Europe, the Middle East and Africa were celebrated as best in class across the last 12 months.

Taking place at a new venue for this year, The Londoner hotel in Leicester Square, and brilliantly presented by comedian Alex Horne and his fantastic Horne Section band, the show heralded a year's worth of amazing work, celebrating the creativity, ingenuity and expertise of the industry.

Below is a list of all the winning campaigns, which were chosen by a panel of industry experts from the EMEA advertising community. The people and companies of the year winners were also revealed last night, those winners being crowned via a points-based system which saw a shortlisted piece of work receive one point, a bronze-winning campaign receive three points, silver winners picking up five extra points, and gold trophies adding a further eight points. 

You can watch all of the winning and shortlisted work on our dedicated Slate page, by clicking here.

All of the images from the night will be on the shots Facebook page from Monday.

Huge congratulations to all of those who picked up trophies at the event.

Above: The awards was brilliantly hosted by Alex Horne and his band, The Horne Section.
